I am not really sure what you mean by that. I watch mine hooked up to a surface pro III and it works very well. I travel a lot and am in many different hotels and so far, it has worked on every TV I have attached it to.

These are "passive" monitors, you want "active" if you want to plug them directly into a laptop

I'm using it with 1 passive displayport-to-dvi connector, one active hdmi-to-vga connector, and the dvi port. It will also deliver VGA through its dvi port so you can use a passive adapter from dvi to vga.

I believe that it doesn't matter for connecting mini displays port to display port. That's just wires. If you are going to a different signal like dual link dvi or VGA then you need active.

I used it to replace a faulty active preamp, I'm not sure if it will work with passive pickups, but I think it should.

Please determine if your equipment is passive or active. Passive works well with most systems. If passive I recommend the sony glasses.

This is 110V version....so yes you need either a passive or active converter

My adapter works fine, perhaps yours is damaged. Write to the seller, I guess you still have a warranty period.

This adaptor uses a passive converter type. See the product page. http://www.startech.com/AV/Displayport-Converters/Mini-DisplayPort-to-DisplayPort-DVI-or-HDMI-Multifunction-Adapter~MDP2DPDVHD

Yes the adapter works great. I went with the best price and not by brand name. The risk was worth it to me, but it's really what you are comfortable with. It's very simple and easy to use - even a novice can figure it out.

Yes it is an "active" filter and as such requires a 12vdc connection. It cones with a toggle switch per wired inline on the "hot" wire

No it is not active, but I don't think it needs to be, because it's HDMI & so short.

It does not matter because its low voltage. Plug in any way and it works. Whether indoor system or outdoor.

My understanding was both adapters were meant to run on one network for device/adapter redundancy, not network redundancy.

It's located in the back of the display. Unscrew and plug in. I haven't had any problems with the adapter.

The adapter is just a socket with an on off socket. The power to the socket is constant. It shouldn't have any effect on your outletted items.
